Overview for "The Rules" for the period of January 29 to February 25, 2001: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This month's theme is "Fan Appreciation Month". This month you will have one Pay Per View. It will occur on Sunday, February 25, 2001. On this card, your World Heavyweight Champion will have his first PPV title defense. This gives you the entire month to build for your pay per view's main event World Title match. The Rules" for the week of January 29 - February 4, 2001: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. You have just held your first successful PPV. Therefore, EVERYONE on your roster except your World Champion must wrestle on at least one television program this week. 2. Your live TV show should feature at least 2 rematches from last week's PPV. 3. Your TV show should also feature the first singles match of the mystery wrestler brought in last month in the main event. 4. On your taped television programs, you should be sure that all your "Top Star" talent wins their matches this week. Also, your World Champ should cut a promo about the fans. 5. For your two house shows this week, your World Champ should wrestle in tag team matches. "The Rules" for the week of February 5 - February 11, 2001: ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Your live TV show hour 1 main event this week should feature a "Ladder Match", featuring two of your "Top Stars". It is up to you to determine what object will be hung above the ladder. 2. Your live TV main event this week should feature a "dream partner" tag team match between your World Champ and the man he defeated at last month's PPV. 3. This week, bring in a veteran tag team and have them win at least one match on the taped programs. 4. For your two house shows this week, use "Top Star" talent that didn't work last week's house shows. Have one of the "Top Star" heels lose to a "Star" face on at least one house show. "The Rules" for the week of February 12 - February 18, 2001: ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. This week, you should start hype your pay per view on February 25. Use your top heels and faces to cut promos during your taped shows about the pay per view. During the promos, announce 3 of the 7 matches on your pay per view. Announce that the PPV World Title match will be a "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" style match (random gimmick match). 2. On your live TV show this week, you should have 1 falls count anywhere match, 1 random gimmick match and the rest of the matches with normal rules. 3. Your live TV show hour 1 main event this week should feature the veteran tag team that you brought in for the taped shows last week. 4. Your live TV main event this week should feature your World Champ in a non-title towel match against his opponent's dream partner from last week. The corner men should be their partners from last week. 5. Since St. Valentine's Day is this week, have one a "Top Face" turn heel. (What a "massacre" it will be... nothing like Fan Appreciation Month) 6. This week, on the taped programs bring in 2 singles wrestlers. 7. For your two house shows this week, use "Top Star" talent that didn't work last week's house shows. Have one of the "Top Star" faces lose to a "Star" heel on at least one house show. "The Rules" for the week of February 19 - February 25, 2001: ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. This week, you will have your second pay per view on February 25. Last week during the promos, you announced 3 of the 7 matches on your pay per view. This week on live TV you will announce the rest of the pay per view card. One of the newly added matches will feature one of the singles wrestlers that you brought in last week. (He looked good last week, can he do the same at the PPV?) 2. Release one of the two wrestlers you brought in for taped shows last week. (Looks like the other guy didn't fair so well, did he?) 3. On your live TV show this week, you should have a variety of matches that will build up your pay per view card. You will want to give the fans what they want in all the matches, so have the faces win ALL the matches on live TV this week. (That's right, give the fan's what they want. After all, one of your top faces screwed them last week) 4. Your live TV show hour 1 main event this week should feature the new wrestler that started on the taped shows last week. Start him in a short feud that will end at the PPV on Sunday. 5. Your live TV main event this week should feature the World Champion against the same wrestler he will be facing at the PPV. This match should be a regular wrestling match. 6. This week, have all your "Top Star" talent win on the taped programs to help build them for the PPV. This will help get them over further on the PPV. 7. For your two house shows this week, use only 2 "Top Star" talents from your roster. This is because the rest of your roster is preparing for the PPV. 8. PPV Notes: You should have seven matches on this card. All of these matches have already been announced on this week's live TV show. Since this month is fan appreciation month, have a heel turn face at the PPV. (This will help to balance out the roster, since a face turned heel earlier in the month)
